All Hallows (The Morganville Vampires #6.6) By: Rachel Caine (Book Review)

 ***This review will contain spoilers***

Summary:

Eve, Michael, Shane, and Claire go to the EEK party one year after the events in The Dead Girls' Dance. When Michael ends up leaving and doesn't come back, Eve goes to search for him...

This is one of the longer short stories I've read from Caine. I love short stories that add a little context to the overall feel of the series and that we get another character's point of view. It's definitely interesting seeing someone else's point of view on how they view Morganville and Claire who is the protagonist of the series. Even down to their inner monologue it's intriguing seeing just how vastly different characters can be from one another. 

This time around we have the perspective from Eve where the gang is all dressing up for a Halloween party. I don't understand why the gang would want to go to any party from EEK since they were the same frat that are known for spiking girls drinks and raping them. The same thing that almost happened to Claire if it weren't for vampire intervention. 

Michael right before heading out with Claire, Shane and Eve had to stop at the blood bank since he ran out of blood. Along the way, footballers stop him for their nefarious plan. 

Mr. Ransom is a local vampire of Morganville and when asked by Michael located Eve at the party and advised her of Michael's predicament.  The Scooby gang obviously all went to rescue Michael and once arrived realized that Miranda was the one orchestrating everything. She obviously has a death wish and has been annoying ever since I've read about her character in the series. She wants to be a vampire no matter the cost but yet when she is actually faced with a scary vampire and not Michael playing human she cowers and changes her mind. 

This was a great short story that showed the Scooby gang working together to help a friend in need. Despite, Miranda being the reason why they are in that situation they still did the right thing and protected her from a thirsty vampire out for blood.

Neutrogena: Healthy Skin Instant Tone Corrector (Review)

Image
***Not Cruelty Free 👎*** This silky, lightweight formula is meant to smooth the skin and correct complexion in seconds. This formula contains essential soy which is "proven" to correct and brighten skin tone while also reducing the look of dark spots, pores and wrinkles. It also helps make-up to be applied smoothly and last longer. The SPF in the tone corrector helps the skin looking healthy. It can be worn alone or with makeup. It contains SPF 15 and is for all skin types. This product costs around $20 but I got it for a $1! You can checkout Neutrogena's website  here.   Essentially, this is a tone corrector and it can be used as a primer after moisturizer. When I read the description on the box I was praying to God that this would work because as I've previously stated in the past few blog posts I've written; this summer my skin has been freaking out with pimples and in consequence I have dark spots all over my chin area where I previously had pimples...

True Blood: Season 1 Episode 6 Cold Ground (Episode Review)

Image
((((((This review contains spoilers.)))))) Adele Stackhouse is dead and of course Sookie is in shock but damn everyone keeps on bugging her. Can everyone just let the poor girl grieve? Of course Sam and Bill have to seize each other up. My question is why does Bill think he knows Sookie so well? Dude, you've known her maybe a week tops. Or has he known her for a week as he would like everyone to believe? I don't understand how Sookie was able to clean up the kitchen after her grandmother was murdered in it. It's a shame that Adele died she was such a gentle spirit.  Jason is just slowly deteriorating beyond belief. Addicted to vampire blood, suspected of several murders and now hitting his own sister. Thank God for Tara and Lafayette because they are amazing friends. They are funny and caring I wish they were my friends.  Sookie yelling and cursing at everyone during the funeral just made me laugh so much. I would react the same way if not worse had I been abl...

Ouija: Origin Of Evil (Movie Review)

Image
(((((Please be warned there are spoilers))))) Movie Summary: In 1960's California, a fake medium's daughter tries to communicate with her late father through a Ouija board, but unleashes a demon instead. This movie is the prequel of the movie Ouija which I have already reviewed. The review for the movie Ouija is here. In the movie we are introduced to the Zander family. The widowed mother Alice and her two daughters Paulina and Doris. Due to losing her husband, Alice becomes the sole provider for her family and to earn some sort of income she performs séances to help her clients get closure from their passed loved ones. She makes money off of scamming people and she uses both her daughters to do it. Personally, I think it's really fucked up to exploit someone's pain and grief to make a few quick bucks. But using her own logic, through deceit she is able to provide some sort of comfort and closure. It does not take too long for Alice to incorporate the po...
